Abstract
The telephone station set is arranged to have at least one locking button that corresponds to an IXC and whenever the locking button is in the selected state, any calls originated from that telephone station set are automatically prefixed with the access code of the IXC to which the button corresponds. Whenever there aren't any IXC buttons selected, only those digits corresponding to the buttons dialed by the calling party are transmitted to the LEC. In another embodiment, the telephone station set incorporates a slide switch having IXC positions and a 'No IXC' position. Positioning the slide switch at an IXC position causes calls dialed from the telephone station set to be prefixed by the IXC access code of the corresponding IXC while positioning the slide switch at the 'No IXC' position causes only those digits corresponding to the buttons dialed by the calling party to be transmitted to the LEC. In yet another embodiment of the invention, a particular IXC, or 'No IXC' is selected from a menu provided by the telephone station set.
Description
The present invention relates to the processing of call
In the U.S., telephone service is provided by a plurality of suppliers or network operator.Some calls out a local telephone calls of for example connecting between two telephone stations (office), handled by a service supplier.Other calls out for example telephone toll call, needs a plurality of service supplier cooperations so that call through.
The initial network operator that telephone service is provided is a local service supplier, for example a this locality exchanges network operator (LEC) [(such as New Jersey Bell(New Jersey Bell Co.)], but also comprise honeycomb (wireless) phone, cable and any so-called " dialing tone supplier " or " the first contact service supplier ", all these is called " local service supplier ".And second network operator typically but and need not to be a toll telephone or so-called inter-office telephone network operator.At present, for example for the telephone toll call between the telephone user, the local service supplier who serves calling party phone and callee's phone is the LEC of network operator (IXC) interconnection of or interoffice long-distance by.In the U.S., AT﹠amp; T, MCI and Sprint are three such IXC.In another example, for local call by a mobile phone to a telephone office, the local service supplier is a cellular services supplier, and the callee's at second network operator can be a network with the cellular services supplier be connected to telephone office place LEC.In view of the above, a telecommunication operator might play multiple effect, and for example, it is the local service supplier concerning some are called out, and it is one second network operator concerning other are called out.
(defaust) second network operator of the tacit agreement of the i.e. reservation of each telephone subscriber of local service supplier and its telephone service is associated, and this second network operator selectes by this user or for this user.Unless the local service supplier by instruction in addition with telecommunication operator code of method of calling input one by one, to show which telecommunication operator should deliver this specific calling and instruct local service supplier, second network operator of the tacit agreement that this is predetermined to deliver the multiple operation calling of being sent by subscriber phone.For any calling of not importing the telecommunication operator code, second network operator of tacit agreement discerns according to specific telephone link usually, for example, this chain route one wired telephone line is represented, but comprise that also wireless (honeycomb), optical fiber or cable connect, and any other link that phone is connected to the local service supplier is provided, the local service supplier receives this calling on this kind link.
Continue above-mentioned station to station call example is discussed, it has represented present prevailing situation, and promptly each user from a LEC to local telephony service (PIC) is associated with its telephone line promptly " basic interoffice network operator ".This local user " PIC that said so to relevant IXC
D " (basic interoffice network operator's) instruction is " PIC to a user unless other is to LEC
D " the interoffice network operator will rely on tacit agreement and be used to connect the station to station call of sending from its telephone line.This kind indicate LEC be when the user be that the basis is being stirred the called phone number when entering and dialled this code of telecommunication operator code and provide before for example being an IXC access code corresponding to required IXC to call out one by one, such IXC access code is corresponding to AT﹠amp; T " 10288 " (10ATT).Particularly, when not importing access code before a trunk call is started from its telephone line by the user and dialled the called phone number, the route of this calling is passed through the LEC network of originating user earlier, at PIC
Last passing through on the network of d IXC with one of its user that LEC network as the terminal use.Another kind of alternative scheme is, user can be before providing the called phone number wishes calling which IXC delivers him trunk call of starting by dialling an IXC access code in order to indicate.According to the reception of the switch of the LEC that serves this calling, can recognize the network operator that the calling party wishes its calling and be and the corresponding IXC of access code that is received access code.Therefore, this LEC formulates one to calling party's calling makes LEC be connected to route by the trunk line on the IXC of access code appointment, and this IXC is no matter whether calling party's telephone line is PIC
D.Then, LEC is sent to the called phone number on the selected IXC.Note that the IXC access code that provides shows the selection to an IXC by the calling party usually, and do not show that he is PIC
D, but sometimes it also can show which caller of same IXC is PIC
D.Configuration according to prior art, because the calling party provides a telecommunication operator code, it is different from the specific telecommunication operator that the calling party selectes by tacit agreement, so in order to show whether a calling has determined that the information of leading to a specific telecommunication operator route never is transferred to this specific telecommunication operator.It is helpful and valuable that this kind information can prove telecommunication operator, especially in the zone of special service is provided.To this, U.S. Patent application, series number according to application simultaneously are the principle of narration in 08/086975, if provide the definition telecommunication operator code of specific telecommunication operator then local service net supplier selects to lead to specific telecommunication operator for this callings this telecommunication operator arrangement of route shows by the calling party to selected indication of telecommunication operator transmission and provides a telecommunication operator code to the local service supplier by the calling party.For example, this indication is transmitted as Signaling System 7(SS-7) (SS7) message or for its part.Moreover the local service supplier also can provide an indication, shows that network operator of its telecommunication operator code input is not this network operator, promptly is by that selected network operator of tacit agreement concerning the caller phone circuit.
In addition, U.S. Patent application, series number according to application simultaneously are the principle of narration in 08/086956, arrange proper this telecommunication operator to receive an indication telecommunication operator, when having imported the telecommunication operator code of this telecommunication operator by the calling party to show, a calling is provided different call treatment, for example, the calling features or the call business of various kinds are provided, and when not receiving this indication, provide and top processing inequality for this telecommunication operator of same call by contrast.According to such business, i.e. business of " all following me anywhere ", if the calling party has the telecommunication operator code prefix of this telecommunication operator to the calling that subscriber phone sends, then this telecommunication operator is with on this call through pairing phone of telephone number that the user had before stipulated extremely thus.And if the calling that the calling party sends does not have the telecommunication operator code prefix of this telecommunication operator, then this calling is moved to end on this user's phone.According to another such business, if calling party's calling can not be finished, and calling party's calling has the telecommunication operator code prefix of telecommunication operator, then provides a voice mailbox to the calling party, can be by the message of callee's retrieval after caller can be stored one within it.In one embodiment, this telecommunication operator is an interoffice network operator, and the telecommunication operator code is an IXC access code.
In the patent application as mentioned above clearly express, (activated) characteristic of enabling for non-local service supplier, if it is the users that same local service supplier's user and callee are that for example " all to follow me anywhere " professional and so on that the callee resembles the calling party, the situation of loss of traffic then can take place.This is because the calling of being dialled between these type of sending and receiving both sides all is local call, does not generally have the telecommunication operator code prefix, only by public local service supplier this calling is handled.Therefore, non-local service supplier does not certainly have chance and implements its " following me anywhere " business, and the calling that the local service supplier can't aware a user like this is will be transferred to another phone to get on.Yet, add that in local call a telecommunication operator code prefix makes non-local service supplier can check its database exactly, to determine whether will provide special processing for a non-trunk call.If the callee is " following me anywhere " professional user really, and stored the telephone number that the phone route is determined in a calling about him, and this phone route is not to be given to serve by that the same local service supplier who serves the calling party, then by this non-local service supplier with this call through to the phone of appointment.But, if the callee is " following me anywhere " professional user, and stored the telephone number that the phone route is determined in a calling about him, and this phone route is given to serve by that the same local service supplier who serves the calling party, and then this non-local service supplier will provide the telephone number of being stored to the local service supplier.Then, the local service supplier with this call through to the pointed phone of telephone number by storage.Even I admit that it is pretty troublesome that a telecommunication operator code is all imported in each calling that requires the calling party to handle for his desirable non-tacit agreement.
In order to overcome these difficulties, according to principle of the present invention, make a telephone set (telephone station set) be provided with to such an extent that have a kind of mode of operation, all automatically provide for any calling of starting in this manner, for example add the telecommunication operator code prefix of the telecommunication operator of a telecommunication operator specific, pre-selected from this telephone set.Though typically just telecommunication operator code (IXC that for example is them inserts code) is arranged at present for IXC, but the calling that has some particular types for some LEC, LEC also has the telecommunication operator code, for example, New Jersey Bell has a telecommunication operator code " 1-0-NJB ", for be sent to New York City(New York City from northern New Jersey) calling be 10652, and can expect, in the future, other can be assigned corresponding telecommunication operator code by the letter network operator.In one embodiment of the invention, a telephone set is provided with a lock-button at least, its corresponding telecommunication operator, press or during chosen state whenever this lock-button is in, any calling of starting of this telephone set will automatically add the telecommunication operator code prefix of the pairing telecommunication operator of this lock-button certainly.In some compass of competency, when adding that an IXC inserts code prefix, the non-trunk call that then is not one of special business (such as " all following me anywhere " business) will get clogged.To those compasss of competency, provided some measures and prevented to add IXC access code prefix.Every not being in corresponding to the lock-button of telecommunication operator pressed or during chosen state, then only is sent on the LEC that this telephone set connects by the code of calling party's dialing.
In another embodiment of the present invention, telephone set is arranged to have a slide switch, and this switch has one or several telecommunications, network operator's position and one " no telecommunication operator " (No Telecommunication Carrier) position.Slide switch is positioned at can make from the all-calls that dials on this telephone set on the telecommunication operator position adds the telecommunication operator code prefix corresponding with this telecommunication operator.Slide switch is positioned at " no telecommunication operator " position and can makes the all-calls that dials from this telephone set, only the calling by calling party's dialing is sent to the LEC that this telephone set connects.
In another embodiment of the present invention, from the menu that phone set display provides, select a specific telecommunication operator or " no telecommunication operator " (No Telecommunications carrier).If selected a specific telecommunication operator from menu, then the all-calls that dials on this telephone set will add the telecommunication operator code prefix of pairing telecommunication operator.If from menu selected " no telecommunication operator ", then this telephone set only is sent to LEC with the calling of calling party's dialing.
In specific embodiments more of the present invention, the telecommunication operator code can stirred: during under the following situation a) when the telephone set off-hook; B) to the response of the initial dialing of calling party.

Fig. 1 illustrates exemplary telephone set 101, and it is connected to a LEC via telephone line 109, and makes layout according to principle of the present invention.Telephone set 101 comprises: a) lock-button 103, comprise lock-button 103-1 to 103-4; B) keyboard 105; C) mobile phone (telephone hand-set) 107.Each for example is AT﹠amp corresponding to a specific I XC on the lock-button 103; T, IXC1 and IXC2, or " No IXC " have corresponding label to this on the figure.Each time, can only press or select in the lock-button 103 one.When dependence was pushed key button and selected in the lock-button 103 one, then selected in advance lock-button just discharged automatically.
According to principle of the present invention, one of every lock-button 103-1 to 103-3 is in and presses or during chosen state, then any calling of starting from telephone set adds automatically that all the IXC of the pairing IXC of this lock-button inserts code prefix.Whenever the lock-button 103-4 of corresponding " NoIXC " is pressed and lock-button 103-1 to 103-3 when not pressing, then arbitrary IXC that had before chosen will be cancelled, the numerical example of having only dialing this moment as just by the calling party on the LEC that pairing those numerals of the numerical key of pressing on the keyboard 105 just are sent to this phone and are connected.
Fig. 2 is a simplified block diagram of the circuit of telephone set 101.The processor 201 that comprises memory 211 is connected to locking selector circuit 203(, and it is the electronic circuit of lock-button 103 concerning telephone set 101), keyboard 105, telephone set hook switch 205, DTMF(dual-tone multifrequency) generator 207 and analog telephone circuit 209.
Fig. 3 illustrates according to principle of the present invention, after one of lock-button 103 is chosen, for any calling of on telephone set 101, sending will be automatically in addition the IXC of corresponding IXC insert an exemplary process flow diagram of code prefix.The step of this process is since 301, when the calling party on the telephone set 101 is mentioned electrophone 107, so, make 205 work of telephone set hook switch, produce a signal that can respond by processor 201.Next step according to the signal of hook switch 205, makes analog telephone circuit 209 work at step 303 place by processor 201, and the off hook signal of telephone set 101 is sent on the telephone line 109.After this, put 305 places at conditional branching and test, selected to judge one of the lock-button 103 whether have corresponding to certain IXC.
If the test result at step 305 place is a "Yes", promptly show predetermined IXC, then process enters step 307, determines that according to selected lock-button IXC inserts code there.Inserting code all is stored in the memory 211.At step 309 place, processor 201 makes 207 work of DTMF generator, provides with determined IXC to telephone line 109 via analog telephone circuit 209 and inserts the corresponding signal tone of code.Then, withdraw from this process at step 311 place.At this moment, any numeral that is dialled on keyboard 105 by the calling party will be provided in the telephone line 109.If the test result at step 305 place is a "No", promptly indicate the IXC that does not have preliminary election, for example be that " No IXC " lock-button 103-4 is pressed, then process enters step 311, and process here withdraws from.At this moment, any numeral that is dialled on keyboard 105 by calling party will be provided in the telephone line 109.
Should be pointed out that can unnecessary independent " No IXC " " lock-button ".When any of the lock-button of representing each IXC is not pressed, just can be used to indicate " No IXC " state, and remove any IXC in advance and select.In a such embodiment, the embodiment of " No IXC " state is as selecting the key button of IXC to become release condition thereby make by means of the key button of any non-selection IXC is pushed 1/4th stroke.Though should also be noted that a plurality of key buttons have been shown among Fig. 1, also be to belong in the category of the present invention only, and this lock-button can be a urge lock button with single lock-button, or other any bifurcation on/off switch.In an exemplary embodiment, when this key button was locked to depressed position, just automatically prefixing inserted on the code at IXC.When this key button is not pressed, then automatically do not insert prefixing on the code at IXC.Though this mode is confined to the selection to single IXC, a kind of embodiment of some people's preferr it that way probably.
Fig. 4 illustrates an alternative embodiment of the invention, and wherein, telephone set 401 disposes slide switch 404 on arranging.Slide switch 404 has one or several IXC position 403-1 to 403-3 and " No IXC " position 403-4.When the cursor slide 411 of slide switch 404 is arranged in ad-hoc location of IXC position 403-1 to 403-3, then all IXC that should IXC is being inserted prefixing on the code from the all-calls of dialing on the telephone set 401.When the cursor slide 411 of slide switch 404 is placed " No IXC " position,, only just be sent on the associated LEC of the telephone set that connects by telephone line 409 401 by the code of calling party dialing then for the all-calls of dialing on telephone set 401.The circuit structure of telephone set 401 is identical with the circuit structure of the telephone set 101 shown in Fig. 2, and it is the circuit that has replaced lock-button 103 with the circuit of slide switch 404 that difference only is to lock selector circuit.
Shown in Fig. 5 is another embodiment of the present invention, and wherein, specific I XC or " No IXC " utilize a menu that provides on the display screen 503 of telephone set 501 to make selected.Dependence is pushed IXC and is selected button 511-1, and it for example is AT﹠amp that the user is allowed at several IXC; Select among T, IXC1 and IXC2 and " the No IXC ", shown in display screen.The user makes his selection by means of pushing key button suitable on the keyboard 505.If selected a specific I XC from menu, then the all-calls that dials out from telephone set 501 all adds the IXC access code prefix of corresponding IXC.If selected " No IXC " from menu, then when making a calling from telephone set 501, only the code side by the calling party dialing is sent to LEC; At this moment, any one IXC that in advance selects is eliminated.Should be pointed out that can be used for the mode that recording user elected is not only keyboard, also have other input mode, such as screen touch, speech recognition or other what is called " soft key " mode.
Among Xu Shu each embodiment, each specific I XC inserts code and can just be fixed in wherein when making telephone set in the above, also can realize that this result's step is stored in them in the telephone set according to a cover.Skilled person in the present technique field can know how to finish this kind programming step.For example, they can use at AT﹠amp; T answering system phone 1532(Answering System Telephone 1532) step or the agreement used in, be used for the remote telephone programming, according to predetermined dtmf signal order, the message of resetting and being write down via telephone line.AT﹠amp; This kind programming of T answering system phone 1532 can be finished in distant.Equally, the programming of phone also can be finished in distant among Fig. 1 and Fig. 4.
In fact, in order to help the user, the phone that the buyer of Fig. 1 and phone shown in Figure 4 can obtain buying is connected to the indication on the telephone network, and gives it with a given dialed number.When dialling this number, the user just can notify one or several IXC to insert the equipment (or operator) of code, perhaps inserts the code in the telephone set, and this equipment relies on the essential signal of transmission to come the telephone set that is connected is programmed for the sort of number.
The present invention can accomplish, presses Fig. 3 or Fig. 6, in case after the phone off-hook, the IXC that dials immediately inserts code.Another kind method is, can delay time earlier and transmit IXC access code, transfer to an initial number until the calling party, at this moment, this IXC inserts code and sends with " note is sent out " form with each numeral of being dialled, also the digital collection that is about to dialing gets up, although delayed time, just sequentially sends after transmission IXC inserts code.In addition, the present invention can accomplish, if the calling party dialed the long-distance usefulness of confession for example before when number being 1 prefix code, then only dial IXC and insert code.The method of accomplishing this point is to insert an additional conditional branching point after step 303, and whether this step 303 is trunk prefix in order to the first digit of test dial.If test result is a "No", just process withdraws from step 311 place.If test result is a "Yes", just process moves forward into conditional branching point 305.This situation is shown among Fig. 7.
Also have, the present invention can accomplish that before automatically dialling IXC access code, telephone set will wait judges whether the calling party dials an IXC and insert code.Even selected IXC still may dial an IXC and insert code on this telephone set, this is because have the people that the telephone set that the automatic IXC of dialling inserts code is unfamiliar with, or having the people will cross selected IXC makes a calling.Insert code if judged the IXC that the calling party dialled, then telephone set is called out this and will automatically not dialled selected IXC access code.Only replace to the LEC that this telephone set connected and transmit code by the calling party dialled.Yet if judge that the calling party does not dial IXC and inserts code, this telephone set will automatically insert the code prefixing to selected IXC on the code that the calling party dialled.This situation is shown among Fig. 8.Store the numeral of being dialled at step 331 place, analyze these numerals at step 332 place.When judging that the user dials one " 1 " when adding an area code again, or judge that then process enters into step 333 place, judges that there whether having selected an IXC inserts code when inserting an IXC in desired a kind of business to insert code being useful.If select down, then process enters into step 334, and it exports this IXC access code selected and storage in advance.After this, process enters into step 335, each numeral of its output storage.
Also will point out, comprise the decision that the guiding of three paths has been done among Fig. 8, rather than output IXC inserts code.Fig. 9 shows the equivalent flow chart of emphasizing this fact.Fig. 9 also allows people to watch another aspect of the present invention attentively, wherein, consideration be when not export IXC to insert code, rather than when export IXC and insert code.Remember to see concisely after these main points, on using, initiatively wish it is not when so supplying with IXC access code (dial an IXC such as the user and insert code), or when the equipment of LEC can not be handled the IXC access code that receives, IXC inserted code and does not just automatically provide.As top pointed, when providing IXC to insert code, have administration and can not handle inner LATA(Local Access and Transport Area, locally insert and pass on the district for LEC equipment) occasion.Yet, future this respect be what can change mostly.
Though, having shown bright dtmf signaling, the present invention also can cooperate pulse dialing and other digital signalling form (for example being the isdn signaling form) to use together.Therefore, some embodiments of the present invention can be developed by the skilled person in the present technique field, comprising with function of the present invention at PBX(private branch exchange that telephone set is connected with this telephone set) between distribute.This PBX then be connected on the LEC.
Must be pointed out, before dialling, indicated and to have inserted prefixing on the code at IXC at any other number.This is because the telephone network of current operation is expecting to receive this IXC access code on this position.Yet the present invention also is intended to comprise such embodiment, promptly when does not expect IXC is inserted code as the first that sends the LEC number to.Under this occasion, the IXC code can be inserted on the correct position in the digital stream dialled.
Only only show above and understand principle of the present invention.Thereby it will be appreciated that the skilled person in the present technique field can dream up various configurations, though they are not perspicuously narrated or show, included principle of the present invention in here, thereby be all to be in spirit of the present invention and the category.
